GREENWOOD, Miss. - If you want to know what it takes to manufacture a product in the United States these days, replica rolex just ask Fred Carl. The founder, president and CEO of Viking Range, Carl virtually invented the market for half-ton, restaurant-sized stoves in the home, fake watch launching his company in the late 1980s, just as a cooking craze swept American kitchens. The company rode a second wave of demand in the early 2000s, when the easy-money housing boom sent homebuyers, fake rolex watch builders and remodelers on a shopping spree for $10,000 trophy stoves. Now, with lower-cost appliance makers invading Viking’s turf, new-home construction down some 70 percent from five years ago, and recession-weary homeowners hunkered down, Viking is fighting to maintain its foothold as an American manufacturer.
